November! November! Poem by Denis Martindale

No Halloween to cause a frown,
No children at my door,
No sudden fears to drag me down,
No treats for them in store...
No bribes to keep me safe all day,
No threats at twilight time,
No need for me to kneel and pray,
No thought of coming crime...
No guilt from God in taking part,
No point, give me a break!
No burden for my beating heart,
No pills that I must take...
No chance that I would join in, too,
No way with Christmas near,
No purpose in what others do,
No sense, I must keep clear...
No, let me still believe in Christ,
No, let me stand steadfast!
No fear, you see, I've realised!
November's come! AT LAST!


Denis Martindale November 2017.


The Gospel poem was shared by Lesley Conder,
Revelation TV presenter of R-Mornings on
the 1st of November 2017. My poem imitates the
Thomas Hood poem, entitled November, as was
taught in my School's English Literature classes.
